Presidential Straw Poll 2008 – Week 6
The sixth week of the PAJAMAS MEDIA PRESIDENTIAL STRAW POLL has officially begun. Bill Richardson and Rudy Giuliani were winners in the fifth week with 60,000 votes now cast. A REMINDER to all blogs and websites:We now offer a voting widget for your site. By placing this widget on your blog or website, your site can become a precinct or polling place just as in an official election. Readers will be able to vote weekly through your site and compare the voting results from that site to the total and to other individual sites. We hope that websites allied with all parts of the political spectrum will participate in this exercise in online democracy. The more who join with us, the more statistically reliable the poll is likely to be. The widget (with tech support) is available for easy installation here. Just follow the instructions at the link.
The results for the first five weeks of the poll are available to your left. This weekly poll has been updated to those national candidates of both parties that score at least one percent on the previous month’s Gallup Poll (via RealClearPolitics).
Other features – including an election discussion forum – are coming soon.
